Williamson, Barbara: - Barbara Williamson was born in the Midwest in 1939. She graduated high school and moved to the West Coast to create her own path, rather than one dictated for her by society at large. Williamson began working at a male-dominated Fortune 500 company, where she quickly moved up the ranks. But upon reaching the American dream, she felt unfulfilled. That is when she met her life partner and founded the Sandstone Retreat, a rebellious, sexually charged commune where sexual freedom and expression were encouraged and celebrated. She currently lives in Fallon. Nevada with her kitty cat.
